About Edmiston
London and Monaco-based brokerage specializing in the 50m+ superyacht segment, known for handling some of the world's most significant private yacht transactions.
Known For
- Founded by Nicholas Edmiston in 1996; offices in London, Monaco, New York, Newport and Mexico City
- Central agent on some of the largest brokerage sales of the past two decades, including yachts above 100 metres
- Sales, charter, yacht management and new-construction project management under one firm, with a strong charter fleet in the Mediterranean
- Regularly among the top brokerages by value of yachts sold in industry league tables
Typical Mandate
Owners and buyers in the 50 metre and above segment: sale of an existing yacht, purchase of a pre-owned vessel in the tens or hundreds of millions of euros, or representation of the owner in a new build at a northern European yard. Charter clients booking large yachts for peak Mediterranean weeks, often at rates well above 500,000 euros per week, make up the other pillar. Management clients tend to be owners of yachts the firm also markets.
How to Engage
Principals generally reach Edmiston through a family office, existing client or shipyard contact, though a direct approach to the London or Monaco office via the firm's website is common. For a purchase, a broker will expect a clear brief on size, range, guest capacity, budget and timing, and will ask for evidence of funds before arranging viewings of off-market yachts. Sellers should prepare survey, class and maintenance records.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Edmiston a yacht broker or a management company?
Both. Edmiston's core business is brokerage and charter, but it also runs a yacht management division covering crew, accounts, compliance and refits, and a new-build team that represents owners during construction. Many owners use two or three of these services at once.
What size of yacht does Edmiston typically sell?
The firm concentrates on yachts above 50 metres and is known for transactions at the very top of the market, including vessels above 100 metres. Smaller yachts do appear in its listings, but its reputation rests on the large-yacht segment.
Does Edmiston handle off-market yacht sales?
Yes. A meaningful share of large-yacht transactions never appear on public listings; owners instruct the broker to approach known buyers quietly. Edmiston's network of principals and family offices is one of the reasons it is engaged for such discreet sales.
